Mouthpiece Refacing

The mouthpiece, the eminent connection between the musician and the instrument, with its sensitive measurements is highly responsable for building the tone. Only one of these measurements being incorrect reduces the efficiency of building the tone, because the air-stream does not let the reed vibrate optimally.

These faults are difficult to notice, but have negative effects on the response of the mouthpiece, like:

strong resistance

muffled sound

lower register does not respond

squeaky sounds

flageoletts are hard to play

Mistakes like that, as well as damages ( broken tip-rail or a dent inside the facing), will be corrected by a refacing.

If the tip-opening does not fit anymore, the mouthpiece can be modified by expanding or reducing the tip-opening. Facing leingth, curve, baffle, tip-and side-rails will be attuned and optimized to the new opening. The results are better playing-qualities.I also take the measurements of each mouthpiece to be able to transfer the dates to another one, so the player will get a second mouthpiece with an almost similar character and playing-quality.
